Missing schoolgirl Shannon Mathews ?..whats going on?news?

Question

is anyone else thinking the same as me here, yes of course the police need to talk 2 the little girl but shouldnt her mother be there with her, she hasnt even been able 2 see touch her own daughter, shes only been able 2 see her behind glass, how is that right. it makes me think is something going on, as theyve also but her into care.. im confused i would have though the first thing they would have done is reunite ehr with her family and then start questioning, what do u think?

Answer 1

I agree its strange but then maybe the case is stranger.  It does not mean that the Mum is involved at all.

All power to the Mum for having the courage to let the police do their job now knowing that her child is in safe hands.

Answer 2

does seem a little strange,

Answer 3

not if you think the mother may have been involved ;)

Answer 4

You would think that the police would want to get the little girl reunited with her mum as soon as possible wouldnt you? Like Dave says if they think the mum may be involved then maybe not.

Answer 5

I think the police are very clued up on what is going on and are putting Shannon's safety and wellbeing before anything else and rightly so. Time will tell what has been happening and what will happen but the whole episode has been unusual from the start.

Answer 6

It turned out that the whole thing was a setup to try to get money from the public.  They are interviewing all suspects separately.

Answer 7

The police don't think the family are involved, they are saying, that Mick Donovan acted alone.

Answer 8

something for sure,

Answer 9

It's because it was a family member who abducted her!!!  They are probably trying to establish whether her immediate family were anything to do with it before they allow her mother to take her home.

They also probably want to question her before there is a chance that her mother can start telling her stuff and the story gets distorted.  

I think it's pretty justified, the course of action that the police are taking at the moment considering who she was abducted by.

Answer 10

i don't think her mother should be there

the police haven't done this lightly

she will have support from social workers

they obviously think the family are involved and Shannon will not be able to speak honestly if a member of her family are there

i hope that i am wrong on this though

Answer 11

Depends sounds suss to me as generally the child would go home asap to its family. Maybe she doesnt want to go home who knows

Answer 12

I don't know, it's a strange case. Maybe they want to question her first because they think her mother could influence her. Or maybe they think she was somehow being neglected.

Answer 13

You are perfectly right on that issue.Should the Mother have harmed the child in any way then it would be different.But as it is Shannon should be released at once from Police care and that passed on to Social Services.It appears the Police are using this girl in order to be able to charge the man she was with.Brainwashing her if you like to put words into her mouth.It is alarming that little has ben spoke of Shannon and her needs as a child.

      I dont wish to opinionate but really they will have a problem making any Charge stick in this case.The child simple made a statement  on how neglected and unhappy she was.In this case we must all examine our maternal instincits and take better care of kids like Shannon.

Answer 14

There is something very wrong about this whole episode. We will find out soon enough.

Answer 15

Yes it all sound a bit suss at the moment. Unless the mother is somehow involved

Answer 16

Something really weird going on here!
